Golf club grip

Abstract

A hollow tapered generally cylindrical golf club grip made of an elastomeric material, of which at least the upper or thicker part grasped by the direction-determining hand (usually left hand) has an arcuate surface on the side touching ball (heel) of the thumb, and the remaining surface touching the other four fingers consists of 6 - 10 lateral planes is provided. When this grip is grasped by the direction-determining hand, the second joints of the fingers placed on one of the edges and thus the grip never slips from the hand.

Thus having described my invention, I claim: 
     
       1. An improved tapered generally cylindrical golf club grip formed of elastomeric material, the improvement comprises: providing the surfaces of said grip with an arcuate surface and six planar surfaces disposed to provide a symmetrical grip when taken in cross-section and having two planar surfaces disposed opposite to the arcuate surface broader in width than the other four planar surfaces, to thereby form an extended edge surface therebetween. 
     
     
       2. The golf club grip as set forth in claim 1, in which edges between the arcuate surface and planar surface are round.
